Orcgoa City, Feb. 13 I890. "rilE MAJORITY'S VKSrOTISM. Tho paHt week bus ahown what we have to expect of the very slender to publican majority in the present Iiouho r reproHcntutivos; that in, it hut shown what tlioHo have to expect who have minds able to lull or conceive wUut will V. 1... tU nltulvtwititil Ufill nf a HO UUIIIS " i" HtwunM-v.. - few republican who have no other law than their own wih, and their concep tion of whit leuislutive actH will bent tend to keep the "pluma" of olllce In their handa, or on the way to their ca pacious atomichs. To thoao who have not recelveJ their political education in the school of Credit Mohilier and cor-pel-hogUm, no amount of labor or nat ural ability can forecast the result. These lust will have to wait till con-r-?-is adjourns before they can venture to rink their mental force by endeavoring, bv following; any nyntem of law, to com-lu-.it what the reault will be. It iu to be expected thn ilie loirty that was In the majority would not in the leant conaldur tho vUlit'i- oi the minority even though th.it i.iuority rep resented an actual iiu'Jority u the voters of the nation. If ibey ad connned tliwtnaclvea to thiJ. ' one who remcin bora the Star itoiite experienco, or the ' infamy of tie; Punt-Traders' reputation, need liave beon surprised ; and but few would have a word of fault to find with tu -men. however ninth they may have objected to the measures. But when the representative of all the people are not satiHlled with doing acts detrimental to their own reputations, but must attack the principles and overthrow the rules on which the business ol the country is constitutionally conducted, even their political enemies must protest. The very rules that that autocrat, Speaker lleed, who at present is usinK his exalted position solely to show his own littleness, bus overthrown, were es tablUhed by the party which at present it is to be hoped he misrepresents. But whenever the republican purty have wished to anything, who can remember when they were trammelled by atty laws of their own enacting? T'ne ruliogs of even their own iiifal'.i'u'e Jtlaine w ere passed by nvihil'-''!,',t''!'',J' were nvLUheTecoe'i: .-noriiie of the viouse. Thr.v -o, in eflect, "Gentlemen of the minority, you have no rights that we are going to respect. Though balked by the rules we had made, you did not resort to unconstitutional mean to ac complish your ends when you were in power, yet we do not intend to be ham pered bv any such thing as parliamen tary law'." Koally, though, uu one ought to be surprised that the successors of those who found excuses and means for violating the constitution, should not re spect tho rules of legislative assemblies. Were it not for tho violation of our rights as citizens of a republic, we could get more of sutijfaction than of the op posite out of the present high handed nrni'Mndini? iroini! on at Washington. None but the most hide-bound partisans will support such measures. And as the nh.muB of a very fu w votes would have changed the last two elections, go most likely will tnuy etiunge me nrai. bo, while their own acts will be a uullstono about their necks, yet we no noi toei disposed to entirely devote ourselves to rejoicing. II it were Bimply our defeat they were accomplishing, nobody well disposed to the public good would ob ject, any more than just hard enough to make them keel) on. But when those in public life do acts that result in more tht !Oi . -,l ,U.I ll.nn.l.v should keep it well in ini, tjj i,a uuxi unit' m (iiuhh ii protest ami trie oniy one tor wtilcli tliey csre that tho ballot box may not lie neglected. The Montana Ballot System. From tlm National Democrat. Colonel W. A. Clark, of Butto, Mon tana, one of the must prominent demo cratic politicians of the new state, say mat tliero is no cliunco tlnit the political Bituallon will be c mnuuri or the dead lock in the Muntiisn legislature broken until tne u. . senuto exainines the ere dontials of the four men who will go to . waaiiiiurton uml ask to be seated as sen ators. Colonel Clark does not auren with Colonel Broadwater, the member of the democratic national committee from Montana, that the Australian voting systeM is till bad. "On the whole it i an exculleiit law," he said, "but in many respects it would be better if changed to suit the country. In tho out lying district of Montana, a yet but sparely Bottled, the law imposes a hard ship upon the voter. Ho is forced to ride sometimes 100 miles over the prairie or through the mountains until he reaches a registration place, where tin can merely certify that he resides in the precinct. Wlien the day for voting comes, ho must take the ride uvui again, and be prepared to resist a chullenge, and to provo that he is the reuister ed voter. Tho feature of the law which leipiiies registration is all right in tho cities and the thickly settled districts, but is all wronu in the other parts of the state, and should be done uwuy with."

Already tho W. F. Excelsior company huve made arrangement to begin re building, and it will be a better equipped and larger tactnry man that currieil away by the flood. The Crown Paper company will re sume active building operation a soon as the water is in its natural channel. Cieorgu Bro'.ighton, having saved al most all his logs, by having them secure ly boomed, will begin at once the erec tion of a much larger and better sawmill than the other. The new null will be located near the mouth of the A bor ne! hy. A prominent real estate man of this city said tn the writer that this washout would not depreciate tho value of real estate, and thut he would puy justa much for property on Main street a be fore and he wished by had a chancu'to buy. v JO Tiu rensii itnd , " gome loeaT tie in the city has beon washed awnr, and fever-breeding and pestilential boil- thoroughly cleansed, i! temporarily we mourn the los of property, the ren ovating character of the flood may prove a mossing in disguise. Reports from other place in regard to the Hood show u large amount of prop erty destroyed. In Portland the indi vidual losses are very small, al though the water was higher than ever before known. The merchants expect- init it, hud ample time to remove their good to a higher elevation and a irrenl part of their loss wag the cost of labor in removing the goods. McMinnvillB reports show that a creat leal ol iliiniML'o hn been done to bridge. Throughout the whole county a great many have been morn or less injured ; but the hridgn over the Yamhill river at Dayton i the only one totally de stroyed. County Jndire Lonu'luirv think U000 will cover the losses in the county. Wbeatlun 1 hud a hard time, lieports say that it wuh completely inundated. the inhabitants moving out and leaving (heir homes to almost certain destruc tion. There was one large warehouse there, suid to contain 2o,000 bushels of wheat, and this is thought to have been a total loss. At Independence matter are not half so bad as liuvo been leported. MX thousand will cover all the dumege. The irincipal loss was the currying uwuy of "resent t at Veness saw null 1 lie engine and boiler are all right and imurly nil the lumber lies high and dry on the low lands below the town w here it can be easily reached w ith wagons. Over 200, -0)0 bushels of grain is stored in ware houses and not a single bushel was dam aged . The Independence people con sider their greatest duinage was in being unable to get their daily mail, hut think It will not be but a few days before they will have bridge repaired so thut they can make connection. Benton county is a heavy loser. The bridge over St. Mary's river is a total wreck. It floated during the flood ami was tied to each bank, but when the water subsided it was found thut the pier hud been washed away, anil the whole structure sank into the river. Benton is a very large county and many streams intersect it, and the loss of bridge everywhere is almost universal. A conservative es;imate of the loss to the county, including the Mnrv'a river bridge, which will cost ItlOOO to' replace, is $25,000. Just across the river, in I. Inn county, the lowlands were flooded about live miles eastward, but beyond tho scattering of fences over the fields, and the destruction of several burns and a few head of cattle, the damage will be light, it will cost about $2000 to renair tho government revetmnent work above Corvallis, but it ellieacy in keeping the river in its channel, thouuh severely tested, has been fully proven. It has saved many hundred acre from total ruin. Hie Alsea river overflowed it banks and the valley had the annear- ance of a lake. In manv places the water was ten feet higher than any high water mark known, the result be ing much los of stock and property. Manv miles of fencing in that section were washed aw uv and the mountain I side in doien of places washed down into the canyon.
